My boss just authorized the purchase of a new laptop carrying case for me. Seeing as how this will be used for my day (IT work) and night (DJ work) jobs, I'm looking for suggestions.

What are you guys using? I need something that will fit a 15" laptop with pockets for other junk (like cables and external hd).

they make backpacks that would probably work for ya, they're big though.
i have a regular briefcase type and it works fine for me, but my laptop rarely leaves the house.

i would love to just throw the crap in my backpack (what i used to do when i used an ibook to dj), but now that i'm not in college, the "real world" frowns upon the backpack solution. i miss college :(

I purchased a bag from EMS a year or so ago..came with a laptop carrying case...

I purchased a bag from EMS(eastern mountain sports) a year or so ago..came with a laptop carrying case inside.....Im pretty sure they still make a line for the urban trooper

unfortunately, i am no longer an urban trooper. more like a suburban trooper. i need something that looks semi-professional for my day-to-day work. i miss the good old days of school where nobody cared what they wore or if they bathed (damn dirty hippies ;)

i have a padded UDG bag (the kind with the slanted top) my laptop and ssl things fit inside quite nicely along with head phones and donuts and condoms and ...

pens?

I just bought this great backpack from The Apple Store, made by a company called incase ( www.goincase.com )

Nice bag AJ. Good one Josh:)

I use the m-audio bag: www.m-audio.com

Yes, I look like im going camping when I roll up to the club but it holds my laptop, Scratch amp, needles, Power strip, extra rca's, headphones, mouse, etc... pretty much everything except my control records...

Just got me a Crumpler bag and couldn't be happier! I went with the Sheep Scarer fits my 15" snug and it is not a bulky bag...its rather stylish.

Alexander- you got a link?

sorry about the late reply bro here is a link:

You can also do a search on Google where to buy them or if I were you check Ebay I got mine off there brand new and saved $60 USD! :)

so i got to work this morning and my boss bought me a new laptop case over the weekend: kensington contour roller. from the limited testing i've been able to give it so far today, this thing rocks. it is big, sturdy, and comfortable.
